Maintenance
Blade Safety
•
Inspect the blades periodically for wear or damage.
•
Use care when checking the blades. Wrap the
blades or wear gloves, and use caution when
servicing the blades. Only replace or sharpen the
blades; never straighten or weld them.
•
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
•
Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets
to preserve balance.
Servicing the Cutting
Blades
To ensure a superior quality of cut, keep the blades
sharp. For convenient sharpening and replacement,
you may want to keep extra blades on hand.
Before Inspecting or Servicing the
Blades

Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch, and engage the parking
brake.
2.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
